August 2nd Release For Street Fighter II 145
Gamasutra reports that Microsoft has announced Xbox Live Wednesdays, a soon-to-be weekly release of content to Xbox Live. They have a listing of the next few weeks worth of content, and happily Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting is slated for August 2nd. Frogger will be coming out tomorrow, July 12th, with Cloning Clyde due next week, Galaga the week after that, and Pac-Man expected on August 9th. From the article: "Xbox Live Arcade's Frogger has been enhanced for the Xbox 360, and features new, enhanced artwork that matches and complements the original style. In addition, according to Microsoft, the game's audio, including sound effects and music, has been modernized to sound crisp and clear on today's high performance sound systems." While these releases have mostly been seen as filler for the 360's very uneventful summer schedule, I can't complain too much about the chance to play Street Fighter II again. I'll be playing Chun Li; Who is your character?

You don't need to tote the entire machine. Just a small memory card with your live profile on it. You can download and play the game on any machine after you've payed for it (if you are using your profile).

2) If you don't like it, just don't buy it. The Xbox 360 works just fine with good old fashioned disk-based games too, you know. However, I *do* like it, so let me have the choice to buy Live Arcade games if I want. Everybody wins.

Obligatory: the dreamcast had online street fighter 2 ages ago... though it was Japan only, and used modems.
